NICOLE Kidman and a shirtless Alexander Skarsgard could be seen getting hot and steamy on a kitchen worktop in episode five of Big Little Lies last night.

The racy scene saw Perry (Skarsgard) place wife Celeste (Kidman) on the counter before the writhing pair engaged in a passionate romp.

However, there were glimpses of Perry's domineering personality as he placed his hand around his wife's throat and gazed intently at her while holding the side of her face.

Although Celeste appeared to be enjoying their tryst, there was a large bruise visible on her thigh which hinted at a previous, less savoury experience.

The couple have a troubled relationship, which has seen them seek therapy to try and fix their abusive bond.

Surprisingly, Perry admitted to their counsellor (Robin Weigert) that he abused his wife, but it wasn't until Celeste attended a session alone that she finally felt comfortable enough to speak openly about the amount she had suffered.
